Existing curriculum workflows rely on outmoded processes and technologies requiring multiple steps via email and the use of document containers that significantly limit transparency and collaboration. These processes are inherently slow, prone to error and resource intensive. These workflows and systems, therefore, are not fit for purpose in a top modern university seeking to be more agile and will act as a significant barrier to the delivery of the Connected Curriculum which is central component of the refreshed 2030 university strategy.  Objectives : Creating a Single Source of Truth  Improve course accuracy  Improve data and insight  Improve downstream processes  Create an Auditable Approval and review process  Reduce manual effort and duplication  Improve reporting and governance  Institutional Agility  Allows curriculum to adapt more quickly and efficiently through streamlined processes  Improve course speed of creation  Improved regulatory compliance  Current Challenges : Fragmented processes and duplicated data entry. Limited visibility of Course/module approval status. Compliance risks with regulatory frameworks. Slow adaptation to curriculum changes requests. High-Level Requirements/What we are looking for: High Level Functional Requirements : Curriculum Lifecycle Management Centralised workflows for new course design, approval, modification, and retirement.

An ability to display course information in a map-like (matrix) format, for example: assessment map, learning outcomes map, etc. Workflow Automation - Automated routing of approvals to relevant parties including notifications.  Workflow definition and configuration - to be assignable at course level.  Workflows should be configurable and usable to manage both initial development of courses and annual (or other) course review functions.  Version Control & Audit Trails - Full history of changes to courses/modules.  Reporting and changelog reports.  Display, Search & Discovery - Easy retrieval of Course/module details for staff and students including search and filtering tools.  Integration: The solution shall interoperate with course catalogue and/or UoP and external webpages to provide automatic u... > [Read full procurement scope and specification on Tenderline](https://tenderline.uk/tenders/procurement-and-implementation-of-a-curriculum-management-system-ocds-h6vhtk-05d3ed) ## Lots (1) ### Lot 1: Untitled lot - **Lot id:** `1` - **Status:** planning - **CPV codes:** 72200000 - **Delivery regions:** UK - **Delivery countries in notice:** GB - **Contract Period:** 14/04/2026 to 15/04/2030 ## Provenance and Official Sources - **Official Notice:** [Find a Tender notice](/out?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.find-tender.service.gov.uk%2FNotice%2F068443-2025) - **Last Source Update:** 2025-10-27T10:35:42.000Z - **This document generated:** 2026-10-27T16:00:04.136Z - **Machine API:** https://tenderline.uk/api/public/tenders/ocds-h6vhtk-05d3ed
